John 11:22: Hadst Thou, O Lord, been always here
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Hadst Thou, O Lord, been always here.
My soul through sin had never died;
But now in my behalf appear.
My Spokesman at Thy Father's side:
He cannot turn away from Thee,
Thou must prevail I surely know;
Whate'er Thou dost request for me
He will for Thy dear sake bestow.
